Boy, you know you got your hooks in me
You're on my mind every day constantly
I'm tired of holdin' back the way I feel
'Cause what I feel, baby, for you is real

You give me everything I want (Everything)
A little more than what i need (A little more
Babe)
I never felt like this before (Ooh)

That's why I wanna give you all of me (I'm hooked)
I'm hooked, babe
On your love, you got me wondering
Sexy (Sexy, sexy, baby)
You're the one I want, you got your hooks in me

I won't stray
'Cause that's what's up, you got me in a daze (Got me
In a daze)
All I can say
Boy, you know got your hooks in me

Someone like me doesn't always fall in love
'Specially with dudes that I meet in the club
'Cause I ain't really into gettin' rough
But boy, I'm feeling you and that's what's up

You give me everything I want (Everything)
A little more than what i need (A little more
Babe)
I never felt like this before (Ooh...hoo...)

That's why I wanna give you all of me (I'm hooked)

I'm hooked, babe (Hooked, hooked)
On your love, you got me wondering (On your love
Babe)
Sexy (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
You're the one I want, you got your hooks in me

I won't stray (Won't sway, baby)
'Cause that's what's up, you got me in a daze (Ooh
Baby, baby, baby)
All I can say
Boy, you know got your hooks in me (That's what you got
To do)

Baby, I'm so into you (I'm so into you, boy)
No one can do what you do to me (No one can hold me
This way)
This is a chance of a lifetime (I won't miss it for
Nothin')
For me, make you mine till the end of all time

I'm hooked, babe
On your love, you got me wondering
Sexy
You're the one I want, you got your hooks in me

I won't stray
'Cause that's what's up, you got me in a daze
All I can say
Boy, you know got your hooks in me

I'm hooked, babe
On your love, you got me wondering
Sexy
You're the one I want, you got your hooks in me

I won't st2ay
'Cause that's what's up, you got me in a daze
All I can say
Boy, you know got your hooks in me

Mama, shake that thang
You know I like it when you shake that thang
The way you shake it, girl, you show no shame
Stop playing, girl, shake that thang

Mary Jane Blige (b. Jan 11 1971) grew up in the projects of Yonkers, New York. A random decision to record a cover of “Caught Up in the Rapture” by Anita Baker in a pop-up recording booth at a mall led MJB to getting signed by Uptown Entertainment. After providing background vocals on Father MC’s hit single “I’ll Do 4 U” in 1990, a young intern at Uptown named Sean “Puffy” Combs ended up executive producing Mary’s 1992 debut album What’s The 411?. Fusing hip-hop beats with Mary’s soulful voice earned her the nickname “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”.

She followed up her debut with a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 1994’s My Life and 1997’s Share My World, as well as hit singles such as “Not Gon' Cry,” “Family Affair,” “Be Without You,” and “Just Fine.”

She also collaborated with rappers on a number of tracks, including Jay-Z’s “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” Ghostface Killah’s “All That I Got is You,” Wyclef’s “911,” Common’s “Come Close,” and Method Man’s “I’ll Be There for You/All I Need to Get By,” which was a platinum hit and won the two of them a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.
